Jeju: The Third and Final days

So the last two days at Jeju were kind of a blur. So much stuff happened.

So on the Third day we started out exploring. We accidentally found a temple across the street from the nearby minimart and we decided to take a look . It was very beautiful in there. They had a great main set of statues.

Then we hung out on the beach and Glen ate his MRE that he had brought just in case. . I went swimming briefly on the main beach for the first time. I wasn’t preparing for it, so I swam in my shorts. Went back to my hotel and got ready to go out.

From there the first place we went was an all organic vegetarian restaurant. They served up a delicious salary bibimbap. It was one of the best bibimbaps I’ve had in Korea. Everything was delicious, though I put a bit too much red pepper sauce in it. The decor in the restaurants.

From there we went on to a lava tube cave. Which was a delightfully cool tube cave. It’s a fairly straight run down the side of a mountain made by a tube of lava. Only the middle section of the tube was open to the public but it was really terrific to see the huge arching ceilings along the whole thing.

From there we went just a short hop to a hedge maze. In the middle of the maze is a bell to ring. Our team had a lot of fun but finished last. We just kept going in circles.

Next we went for a nice hike at the Jeomul recreational forest. In the forest included a really cool nature path, a fresh water spring, a buhddist temple, and a set of super cool wooden statues.

After that we went to dinner. I was starving at this point so the very average pork and mackerel tasted incredible. I’m quite sure though that if I had not been quite so hungry I would have been unimpressed again.

Finally for the Third day, we went to the ghost road and Loveland. The Ghost Road is a neat optical illusion where it appears as if the road tilts up when in fact its going down hill-and gives the illusion that ghosts are pushing your vehicle forward.

Loveland is hard to describe in words but it’ll have to do because most of the pictures are too NSFW to post here. It’s an erotic theme park with a great many statues and other works of art throughout the park. Jeju is the Korean destination for honeymoons so you will see many newlywed couples walking around here. They’re all outrageous, and absurd to the point of being over the top.

From there we went home and more or less went straight to bed. Next morning we woke up for some last minute beach shenanigans before we had to check out from the hotel. People piled seaweed on top of one another in a disgusting game of can-you-top-this?

Lastly we went to a botanical gardens where there were many foreign species of plants growing. A lot of these were very beautiful and something different from what we had seen on the rest of the island.

And that was all of my Jeju holiday.
